Title: Clear problems - Bally s5500? Post by: rjpohl on December 30, 2010, 03:54:03 PM I believe I have a bally 5500
S940201928 S63B3WT-10 2/94 6304/GSM-500 board number: AS-3356-201 rev E mains ME920000-6-0 02/09/05 Had 81 error code. I replaced battery and then placed jumper on JW10, held test and Pcoin buttons and powered up. Held buttons for approx 15 seconds but got no display readings. Powered off back on (hold the 2 buttons in) and I got 83F. I powered back off and then used clear chips. Can't get any reading on display. I did get all 9's in display once but don't remember how. I've tried the board in another working machine and get the same results. What am I doing wrong????? Thanks Bob Title: Re: Clear problems - Bally s5500? Post by: CVslots on December 30, 2010, 05:15:19 PM I just had a all 9's on a 5500 and it was a bent pin on one of the chips. If you get stuck in a 83F loop after a clear start over and make sure that the MPU board is pushed in all of the way. I've also had to press really hard on the PSEUDO COIN and TEST buttons, when you switching the power ON, I think they get a little sticky sometimes.
Good luck. Title: Re: Clear problems - Bally s5500? Post by: rjpohl on December 30, 2010, 06:11:33 PM do I need to use clear chips or the JW10 jumper to perform ram clear on this slot?

Title: Re: Clear problems - Bally s5500? Post by: rjpohl on December 30, 2010, 07:52:11 PM I put jumper on JW10
Held test and coin buttons in while turning on power get CL C power off remove jumper, power onf 83F put clear chips in power on while holding buttons in flashing 9's ???????????????

Title: Re: Clear problems - Bally s5500? Post by: rjpohl on December 30, 2010, 11:29:35 PM pretty sure I got ch-c first and the cl-c. I've tried 2 boards with the same mains, I'm thinking I may have bad mains.

Title: Re: Clear problems - Bally s5500? Post by: CVslots on December 31, 2010, 02:59:59 AM Ok,
I pulled U18 and bent 1 pin and I'm getting a 99999. Check all of your chips, pull and reinsert them. Title: Re: Clear problems - Bally s5500? Post by: StatFreak on December 31, 2010, 03:14:21 AM Ok, I pulled U18 and bent 1 pin and I'm getting a 99999. Check all of your chips, pull and reinsert them. Wow CV. We're going to have to award you a purple heart. Oh wait, self inflicted wounds don't count. :200- :97- :97- :97- Still, :259- for going the extra mile and deliberately bending your pin for a fellow member. :3- :3- :30- :30- (Okay peanut gallery, let 'em fly. :5- :257- I'm playing straight man tonight. :14-) Stat :31- Title: Re: Clear problems - Bally s5500?

Ouch! Sorry Bally, that had to hurt. :107- :125- :47- Title: Re: Clear problems - Bally s5500? Post by: rjpohl on December 31, 2010, 07:26:17 AM I have pulled all eproms and checked for bent legs (didn't find any) then re-seated in board and got same results. I have another board that has 1994 mains (ME920000-4-0) and U3 and4 chips that are marked SE92000-5-X.
do the mains (U18 and U20) have to have matching numbers to U3 and4 (920000)? what is the purpose of the U3 and U4 chips?? is this a S5500 machine or a S5000 (how can I tell from mocel number?) Thanks CVslots for the "bending the leg" test Karma+ Title: Re: Clear problems - Bally s5500? Post by: rjpohl on December 31, 2010, 10:05:08 AM This was driving me crazy so I pulled the chips off the working machine I have and replaced with chips from problem machine and it cleared and worked perfectly in my machine. Long story short it appears the board in the problem machine and the spare board I had were both bad. Is there anyone out there that repairs these?
thanks for all the help Bob Title: Re: Clear problems - Bally s5500? Post by: jdkmunch on December 31, 2010, 03:18:11 PM is this a S5500 machine or a S5000 Can you post a picture? I can tell from looking at it. Sounds like a 5500 to me Title: Re: Clear problems - Bally s5500? Post by: StatFreak on December 31, 2010, 08:40:20 PM is this a S5500 machine or a S5000 Can you post a picture? I can tell from looking at it. Sounds like a 5500 to me I agree. Replacing the board is probably cheaper and easier than having yours repaired. Title: Re: Clear problems - Bally s5500? Post by: paul on December 31, 2010, 08:51:14 PM Bob U 18 and U20 are game chips
Title: Re: Clear problems - Bally s5500? Post by: rjpohl on December 31, 2010, 09:36:41 PM Bob U 18 and U20 are game chips [/quote do the game chips have to match U3 & U4? what are u3 and u4? Title: Re: Clear problems - Bally s5500? Post by: paul on December 31, 2010, 10:03:56 PM No it is 3--4--12--15

And yes it was a new battery. Then I could clear ram. The battery does not charge when the power is on; it is a non-rechargeable lithium battery. I'm not sure why you had to wait. :128- |
